Chapter 126: Changes in Loulan Palace (3)
As soon as everyone heard the emperor's speech, who dared to stay here, of course, they all dispersed.
Concubine Xiao and Concubine Li saw that everyone was gone, so they reluctantly left the emperor's bedroom.
"Brother, let's go back. Nalan Qianqian glanced at her brother and persuaded in a low voice. She knew that her brother must be very uncomfortable now, but there was no way to do this, this was the truth, the royal family affection was insignificant, and the ugly face that the son showed was just a common thing, the reason why she let her father see it with his own eyes was because she wanted her father to be wary of the people around him, so that they had no chance to take advantage of it.
"Well, let's go, it's still thoughtful today, otherwise I'm afraid that one day I will be detained in a basin and I don't know. Nalan Qidi recalled the thrilling scene just now and couldn't help but sincerely admire his sister, his sister may be a special experience that made her very mature and wise, and she saw things very thoroughly, taking today's events as an example, if she hadn't reminded her father to get ready, she really never dreamed that this situation would be so tragic.
Nalan Qidi and Nalan Qianqian returned to Qiqi's dormitory together, today's incident made the brothers and sisters realize that they must take precautions in advance, otherwise they may become cannon fodder in the power struggle at that time.
"Brother, you should know more clearly what your father meant, it seems that you are right when it comes to the future emperor, and the two prime ministers chosen by your father are also trustworthy people. I'm afraid that they won't be able to wait for that day to start in advance, which will be more troublesome, because there will definitely be casualties when they meet each other, which everyone doesn't want to see, but there is no way, who makes them all lustful. Nalan Qianqian analyzed the current situation, and it is indeed not optimistic.
"Well, I also think that they may not be willing to wait, because they also know in their hearts that today's father's words are equivalent to directly disclosing my identity, so they will not wait for my father's death and the edict will be made public, because it will be too late at that time. Nalan Qidi also agreed.
"So we have to prepare in advance for everything, you should be the most unsafe here, followed by my father's bedroom, they may be divided into two ways and take risks, so you and your father must be careful." As for my side, they shouldn't have time to take care of it, and they also know that if they deal with you, I, an orphan girl, will be isolated and helpless, and it will be easy to destroy. Nalan Qianqian analyzed in detail, without a trace of emotion, as if she was talking about the weather with others.
"Sister, you can rest assured, my brother will not fall so easily if you don't do anything else just to protect you, so I'm sorry for the queen mother under Jiuquan, when the queen mother entrusted you to my brother, it was my brother who didn't take care of you and made you suffer so much in Mexico, and my brother will definitely compensate you in the future and make you the happiest princess." Nalan Qidi wanted his sister to reassure.
He felt that as an elder brother, he was ashamed of this sister, although the royal family affection was relatively indifferent, but he and his sister had a deep friendship, after all, the queen mother went early, leaving only the two of them to rely on each other. In order to consolidate the imperial power and appease the hearts of those women, the father rarely cared about the two of them, and even less when he cared, which left a lot of shadows on their childhood, and they were never very happy.
Now that I think about it, I can feel a little relieved, but the friendship between the brother and sister is indeed getting deeper and deeper, not because of anything else, just because of the family relationship between the two whose blood dissolves in water.
"Okay, as long as there is this sentence from my brother, my sister is already content, we must not sit still, and we must not be soft, cutting the grass without eradicating the roots. Nalan Qianqian looked relieved, and then gathered joy and said with a serious face.
She has come from the battle step by step, of course she knows the cruelty and determination, if she is soft-hearted at this time, she will regret it in the future, and by that time it is too late, of course she will not let her brother regret the day, because the fate of the two is closely related, and her protection of her brother is equivalent to helping herself, and the two of them will be both prosperous and lossy.
"Well, don't worry, brother, I'm no longer the soft-hearted hairy boy I used to be. Nalan Qidi replied solemnly.
At that time, the queen mother in order to protect the young they were simply nervous into a frightened bird, always felt that the people around them were not safe, and punished people at every turn for a little thing, he couldn't understand the young, and because of this, he felt that the queen mother had changed and became cruel and unkind, and because of this for a period of time deliberately away from the queen mother, so the queen mother was sad and sad for a while, and then the queen mother somehow fell ill, he no longer had anger with the queen mother, he admitted his mistake to the queen mother, and the queen mother passed away with a smile.
At that time, he cried and grabbed the ground, grief-stricken, he hoped to give him some more time to get along with his mother, but there was no regret medicine in the world, he could no longer see the loving smile of his mother, he could no longer hear the gentle and loving words, all he could see were the women who dressed up to please their father. At that time, he hated women and hated women who dressed up in a demonic manner, so he never gave his sincerity to any woman, but he was absolutely worthy of every woman.
"You must take strict precautions when you go back in a while, I will send a few guards to protect you secretly, but you yourself must also be cautious, because this is an extraordinary time, and we must pay attention everywhere. Once again, Nalan Qidi told his sister that he couldn't afford to lose her again.
"Brother, don't worry, your sister and I have always been like this, I have never let go of my guard, and I have been living a life of walking on thin ice, but it's good to get used to it. Nalan Qianqian squeezed out a reluctant smile, she has always lived in dire straits, so she is still alert at all.
Sending his sister away, Nalan Qidi was not idle, he called several guards in and deployed them temporarily, because this period is not optimistic, and it is very likely to be attacked by sneak attacks, and if it is not deployed in advance now, I am afraid it will be too late.
"From today onwards, you will rotate day and night, and you will not have any free time, and the rotation time is not fixed, and it will be changed every day, and the head of the guard will come to me every day to receive the order, and notify you temporarily. "Nalan Tus now can't have absolute trust in anyone, so he leaves the decision of rotation to himself.
"And remember that one of the four people in each post should be separated, go back and forth to inspect the eldest princess's bedroom, and report immediately if there is anything abnormal. Nalan instructed the guards to take care of his sister's safety as well.
Everyone had to be ordered, leaving Nalan Qidi alone to read in the study.
The night outside the window was dark, but Nalan Qidi was not sleepy at all, because there were so many things that had happened recently, so that he couldn't breathe, he thought that he could make a small plan to bring Xu Yu'er back, but he wanted to return empty-handed, and his father and emperor became like this, it is really impermanent, and he can do it and cherish it.
The night breeze outside the plug was very cool, Nalan Qi's maid put on a cloak for him, he continued to look at the books in his hand, these books are just decorations on weekdays, although he has a good literary talent and a super good memory, but he has always been interested in reading. I didn't expect that one day I would be able to read it at night, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I thought about it.
In the eldest princess's bedroom, Nalan Qianqian bathed in a large wooden barrel sprinkled with rose petals, and the maids on the side were constantly adding hot water to her, and half of her beautiful back was exposed outside the wooden barrel, her skin was like congealed fat, which made the people admire, worthy of being a noble princess, and even her complexion was more than one color whiter than them.
The water filled the room, and it instantly became a fairyland on earth.
Nalan Qianqian's face was pink, and she closed her eyes slightly and enjoyed her own comfortable time.
"Whoosh!" Three darts in a row came with the wind, but fortunately there was a screen to block it, which reduced the momentum, otherwise I would not dare to imagine.
Although she was not shot, she was shocked in her heart, she didn't expect the enemy to come really quickly?
"Princess, are you alright?" the stunned maids on the side came to their senses and ran over to ask with concern.
"It's okay, you all hide and ring our bell!" Nalan Qianqian looked calm and hurriedly ordered.
In order to prevent a sudden attack, she had already ordered someone to put a large string of bells in each room, and the bells were the same, as long as she rang the bell on her side, the bells in all rooms would ring at the same time, and the crisp sound could be comparable to the camel bells in the desert, so that the guards would arrive as soon as possible, and the rescuers on her brother's side would also hear her signal for the first time.
The maids immediately rang the bell, and sure enough, there was a pot of porridge outside the dormitory in an instant, and the guards were on alert, and the sneak attackers wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, and both parties wanted to take the lead.
Nalan Qianqian hurriedly stood up from the bathtub, and the maid immediately handed her a large bath towel, she hurriedly wrapped her body and went back to the bedroom surrounded by the maid.
"How's the situation outside?" she asked, uneasily, as she changed her clothes.
"Back to the princess, someone just came to report, the assassin has not been caught, and the guards on the eldest prince's side have also come to help, it seems that it is a matter of time before the assassin is caught. "The maid is a clever master, and she speaks without leaking.
"Well, you should be careful in doing things in the future, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes and lose their lives in vain. Nalan Qianqian changed into her middle clothes and gave a few more commands, and then sent the maids down.
After a while, I heard a rush of footsteps approaching.
"Are you princesses okay, are you sleeping?" I only heard my brother's voice, and I knew the meaning of concern as soon as I heard it.
"Princess, she hasn't slept yet, and she probably hasn't slept yet. The maid hurriedly replied.
"Okay, let her rest well, I'll go back first, you take good care of the princess." As soon as Nalan Qidi heard that his sister was fine, his heart finally relaxed, so he took his guards back home.
He also has to go to his father to take a look, because except for a few guards and eunuchs, no one else is allowed to approach alone, so he is still more assured, as long as they take strict precautions and don't give those villains a chance, maybe his father can live longer, then Loulan will not have too much fluctuation.
This is also what they want, because once their father dies, all forces will fight, and whoever wins will naturally be the emperor, and the end of losing can be imagined. Although he really wanted to be the emperor, he also wanted his father to live a few more years, otherwise he and his sister would be even more helpless.
"Father, is he okay, can you see that it is light?" Nalan Qidi hurriedly asked the chief eunuch.
"Your Majesty, he is fine, he is sleeping now, please rest assured, the eldest prince. The chief eunuch replied.
